Apex Films is a certified XPEL installer in Fresno and a participating shop in the XPEL Tesla Referral Program. Order paint protection film, ceramic coating, or PRIME XR window film inside the Tesla app and XPEL routes the job to our bay on E Ashlan. Every panel is cut from XPEL’s precut Tesla patterns, including the Highland Model 3 and the Juniper Model Y.
XPEL and Tesla opened this booking channel in May 2025. You order film inside the Tesla app or the Tesla Shop, XPEL takes the order, and XPEL assigns the install to a certified shop near you. Enrollment is not automatic for XPEL dealers. Apex Films is one of the shops covering Fresno and the surrounding Central Valley.
The money moves through XPEL rather than through us, and your film warranty is registered with XPEL on the day of the install. If Tesla later replaces that glass under its own warranty, XPEL pays to put the film back on.
01. Order XPEL film or PPF inside the Tesla app or Tesla Shop.
02. XPEL takes the order and routes it to Apex Films in Fresno.
03. You drop the car at our bay. Most jobs run one to two days.
04. You pay XPEL. Nothing is owed to us at pickup.
05. We file the warranty with XPEL before the car leaves.
Every panel comes off XPEL’s plotter, cut from the pattern for your exact car. That includes the Highland Model 3 and the Juniper Model Y. No knife touches your paint.
We register the film with XPEL the day your car leaves. Ten years on Ultimate Plus and Stealth, four on Fusion Plus, lifetime on PRIME XR glass. XPEL holds that record, so it outlives us.
PRIME XR PLUS carries no metal. It leaves the Autopilot cameras, GPS, and the LTE modem behind Sentry Mode alone.
The work happens in our bay at 4344 E Ashlan Ave. You are not driving to the Bay Area and back for a film install.
Tesla paint is soft, and it shows on Pearl White Multi-Coat and Stealth Grey faster than most owners expect. These are the packages that actually come through our bay. All of them use XPEL Ultimate Plus in gloss or XPEL Stealth in satin, with a ten-year warranty from XPEL.
The long hood and low nose take the worst of Highway 99. Most Model S owners cover the front clip and stop there.
The 2024 Highland refresh changed the front fascia and the headlight cutouts, so the older patterns no longer fit. We cut both versions.
Falcon Wing doors scuff along the painted seam where they track past the garage opening. Budget for door edges on this one.
The Model Y is the car we see most. Juniper changed the bumpers and the roof glass in 2025, and our patterns cover both years.
Bare stainless scratches and holds fingerprints, and there is no clear coat to polish. Film is the only way to keep a panel original.
8 mil gloss film with a self-healing top coat, ten-year XPEL warranty. Light scratches close up in the sun or under warm water. This is what goes on most Pearl White and Ultra Red cars.
Satin film, same 8 mil build and ten-year warranty. Turns gloss paint matte, or keeps a Stealth Grey car looking the way it left Fremont.
9H ceramic coating, four-year paint warranty. Goes over bare paint or over PPF. Water sheets off it, and bug splatter and bird droppings stop etching the finish.
Rejects up to 98% of infrared heat and 99% of UV, with a lifetime warranty. This is the film the Tesla Referral Program covers. Nano-ceramic, no metal, and Skin Cancer Foundation Recommended. Comes in a 70% VLT that is legal on a windshield in California.
Nano-ceramic with a lifetime warranty, also covered under the Tesla Referral Program. A step below XR PLUS on heat rejection, and the one most owners land on for a full car.
Optically clear film with a ten-year warranty. Model 3 and Model Y headlight assemblies haze from rock strikes and yellow under Valley sun. A replacement pair runs past $1,000.
Find XPEL PPF or window film in the Tesla Shop / accessories section for your vehicle.
The order is fulfilled through xpel.com. XPEL confirms availability with our Fresno shop.
Drop the car at our Fresno bay. A front clip runs about a day. A full body takes two.
No payment at the shop. XPEL processes the transaction and remits after completion. Your warranty is registered on the spot.
You do not have to order through the app. Call or text us and we will quote your car directly, with the same install and the same XPEL warranty.
The install is done by a certified XPEL shop using precut patterns, so no blade goes near your glass or paint. Your Tesla vehicle warranty is unaffected.
We register every install with XPEL directly. Ten years on Ultimate Plus and Stealth, four years on Fusion Plus ceramic, and a lifetime transferable warranty on PRIME XR window film.
If Tesla replaces a window under its own vehicle warranty, XPEL pays to reinstall the film. That is part of the Referral Program.
Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Cybertruck jobs come through our Fresno bay every week. Every panel is cut from XPEL’s pattern library and finished by XPEL-trained installers.
Call or text 559-215-8435 and we will quote your car directly. Whether the order comes through the Tesla app or straight to us, the install and the XPEL warranty are identical.
